ALL THE WORLD´S A PAGE

«All The World’s A Page» - how it all began: "Once upon a time we asked ourselves asked an interesting question: could you print an entire book on a single poster? Could you still read it? What would it look like hung on a wall? How impressed would our friends be if we tried it? So we did try it. And our friends were mighty impressed."

The longest text is Marx’s Das Kapital, which has over 800,000 words, and is set in 2.2pt type. The result is a wall of text, which intrigues the viewer by slowly revealing its content the closer one gets to the poster: from a distance it resembles a uniform grey-scale field; from up close the hidden structure of the text is revealed through the varying density of paragraph symbols.

«All The World’s A Page» is a collaboration of the two design offices State and Troppo Design.
